my 2008 Project completed, a lot of pics inside, Ferrari Red !
well, I wanted to do something different and this car was just too tempting.
My wife had the same cabrio when we dated in college, and I have fun memories of that time (1990)
EDIT we completely changed the color of this car, from Candy apple red to Screaming Ferrari Red
cliff notes:
from this
thru this:
to this:
now read the rest :D
anyway, this is how I found her (hit in the front, dents, scratches, etc..)
trashed interior
first thing to do was to measure the frame to access the damage
we cut off the radiator support (it's not pretty)
in the meantime, I do complete tune up, everything new including the water pump, A/C compressor, every gasket, wire, belt, hose, etc..
new radiator support goes in
I change the suspension to H&R springs, Koni adjustable shocks, new bushings, new control arms, new ball joints, new cross drilled rotors, new pads, new brake hoses, new driveshafts, new boots, etc...
sadly the rest of the car still looks like crap
during the winter I found BBS RMs with Kodiak lips, mounted new tires on them, looks sick !
the interior gets re-upholstered in 2 tone, white leather with black veloure (pimping)
more work on the body
